Pineapple Granita

Ingredients

1/2 cup sugar

2 cups pineapple juice

4 small mint sprigs, for garnish

Preparation

Combine sugar with 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan
over medium-high heat. Simmer until sugar
is dissolved, stirring once or twice. Whisk juice
into the sugar syrup and pour into a 9 x 9 x 2-inch
pan. Freeze 2-3 hours, pulling a fork through the
mixture every 30 minutes to make granules. Serve
